Global Frontiers of Social Development in Theory and Practice ─ Climate, Economy, and Justice

This volume explodes myths about social welfare and development and offers a critical interface between "comparative social welfare" and "new social development.' Brij Mohan has assembled a leading group of scholars and educators to reflect on climate change, economics, and social justice and together unfold the dynamics and dialectics at the variegated nexus of human-social development. In his own chapters, Mohan draws on a life's experience as a dedicated social work pioneer to explore new dimensions of social practice that enhance its relevance in a globalized culture that breeds social meltdowns, economic inequality, and global injustice.

Brij Mohan, Professor and Dean Emeritus, School of Social Work, Louisiana State University, is author, most recently, of Development, Poverty of Culture, and Social Policy (2011), Society and Social Justice (2012) and Death of an Elephant (2013). He also is Founding Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Comparative Social Welfare (1985-2012).
